Group key management based on semigroup actions (1509.01075v2)
Published 3 Sep 2015 in cs.IT, cs.CR, and math.IT
Abstract: In this work we provide a suite of protocols for group key management based on general semigroup actions. Construction of the key is made in a distributed and collaborative way. Examples are provided that may in some cases enhance the security level and communication overheads of previous existing protocols. Security against passive attacks is considered and depends on the hardness of the semigroup action problem in any particular scenario.
